My easy and flavorful oven roasted Broccoli recipe will be a hit at weekday family dinners. It’s very easy to make and tastes wonderful. My toddler loves Broccoli if I make it this way and I’m sure yours would too if you give it a try. It gets done in 20 minutes, with only 5 minutes of prep work from your side.

I’ve always loved Broccoli and enjoy it steamed, in a stir-fry, in soups and in salads. I also know that most folks aren’t fond of Broccoli, my husband being one of them.

I’ve tried making Broccoli in several ways to see if he would warm up to them. I finally found The Recipe! This is the only base recipe you’ll need to modify the flavors to your liking.

The key is to roast the Broccoli in the oven. It’s where the magic happens! The grassy vegetable turns into a caramelized delight!

My son is a very picky eater and I always find ways to modify my recipes to get him to eat some plant points. This oven roasted Broccoli recipe has been a consistent winner.

Ingredients for Oven Roasted Broccoli

Broccoli

Buy fresh and green Broccoli. If the florets are yellow, they are not fresh.

Garlic

Garlic is the star element of this dish. Use fresh garlic. You can replace in with Garlic powder if you’re out of fresh garlic.

Black pepper powder

Freshly crushed black pepper gives the maximum flavor, but you can use store bought black pepper powder.

Oil

I always use Expeller pressed Avocado oil for roasting vegetables due to its higher smoking point (520F). You can use any neutral oil for this recipe.

Red pepper flakes

This is an optional ingredient, but it elevates the dish to another level.

Oven Roasted Broccoli – Method

There are two parts to this recipe.

1. Making the spice mix
2. Roasting the Broccoli

Making the Spice Mix

In a small cup, add 2 tablespoons of Avocado oil.

Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to it.

Also, add ½ teaspoon of pepper powder and 1/4^th teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Finally add 1 teaspoon of salt (or as desired) to the oil mixture.

Mix them all well. Your spice mix is ready

Roasting the Broccoli

Preheat oven to 415 F (210 C)

Cut Broccoli into bite sized florets and wash them thoroughly.

In a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread the washed Broccoli.

Pour the prepared spice mix on the Broccoli florets and mix them well. Use your hands to make sure the spice mix coats the florets evenly.

Sprinkle 1/8^th teaspoon of Oregano to the Broccoli florets.

Bake for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until the Broccolis is crisped to your liking.

Serve it warm as a side to any meal. Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice before eating.
